Gov. Scott Walker has scheduled an emergency meeting of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. for Wednesday in the wake of a scathing audit released last week detailing serious problems at the state's flagship jobs agency.

Walker also told reporters Monday that he is talking with University of Wisconsin System officials about how much money would be needed to cover the costs of freezing tuition throughout the system, saying it remains unclear how much of the $181 million he originally budgeted for the System will instead go to K-12 schools and tax cuts.
